I had that same problem. When I took my car back to Kirkham to have some other work done I mentioned the issue to them. They advised me that my engine builder installed an alternator that didn't put out enough amps, so they replaced the alternator and the problem went away. The only accessories that I have that run most of the time are the radiator fan, the electric fuel pump, and the MSD ignition and dashboard instruments. So it was somewhat surprising that those few devices consumed that much power.
